Both the Gum Nebula and pulsar are remnants of a relatively rare heavenly event: a supernova, the cataclysmic explosion of a massive dying star.

The homage at the Cultural Center is a lugubrious affair, but an interesting one nevertheless; for it records in great detail how one gifted painter went backward under pressure, like an irritated crab, into a historical impasse - and has stuck there ever since, snapping his crusty pincers at every stir in the water...
